Livingston have issued a statement saying that they have offered David Hopkin a new contract and remain 'hopeful' he will be in charge of the club as they prepare for life in the Premiership.

Despite interest from other clubs, Courier Sport understands that Livingston are the only club to have made a concrete offer to the former Scotland international, who is still working towards boosting the squad for next season.

David has been open and honest with the Board and verified that he has had other interest. He heads off on holiday on Wednesday and will use that time to reflect and come to a decision on his future.

The transfer window is closed until June 10th so the board is comfortable in giving David this time. We are hopeful that the offer will encourage him to remain with the club and take us forward in the Premiership.

The club will continue to push on with pre-season schedule and our player recruitment with the help of the coaching staff at the club.
